Dragon Tamer

Chapter 783: Chapter 787: Halfway Done!

“”Ku-ao!!!!” The Yama Dragon roared angrily, signaling Bai Qi to come over and decide the victor once and for all!

Bai Qi ignored it completely, opting to lie on the ground and elegantly groom its own snow-silver tasseled fur.

“Ku-ao!!!” The Yama Dragon continued to challenge Bai Qi.

Bai Qi simply yawned and gradually, amidst the dancing snowflakes, turned into a tiny and adorable Little Dragon form, leaped onto Zhu Minglang’s shoulder, and lay there to sleep…

The Yama Dragon was so angry that it stomped its feet, but there was nothing it could do. It couldn’t break free from the God silkworm silk, and Zhu Minglang and his dragon wouldn’t fight it…

The whole night went to waste like that, and the Yama Dragon gradually lay its body down and rested like a Netherworld volcano, but hunger did not cease with this kind of recuperation.

Two days and nights passed.

The Yama Dragon still refused to eat even a bite. Food handed to it on a platter was disgusting!

Meanwhile, Bai Qi had long since recovered its vigor, but it would not fight the Yama Dragon anymore.

…

By the seventh day, the Yama Dragon couldn’t take it anymore.

It started to go mad, using whatever little strength was left in its body to break free from the God silkworm silk, but the silk still bound it tightly to the ground!

It was irritable and furious.

It was murderous from hunger and crazily fierce from humiliation, but as long as it couldn’t break free from the God silkworm silk, all these actions were futile.

Zhu Minglang didn’t sleep either and would just tough it out with the Yama Dragon this way!

Outlasting the dragon is one of the Dragon Taming techniques, but with the Yama Dragon’s temperament, it wouldn’t be willing to sign a Spirit Contract with a human just because you defeat it.

Even if you overpower the Yama Dragon, it would rather die than submit.

Zhu Minglang didn’t want to kill the Yama Dragon; he wanted to use this method to break the Yama Dragon’s proud will…

But this will had to be shattered slowly.

For instance, now Zhu Minglang had pushed the Yama Dragon to the verge of madness. Its will was obviously impacted, but should he attempt to enter a Spirit Contract with the Yama Dragon at this time, not only would it refuse, it might very likely choose to end its own life rather than suffer such an ending!

What Zhu Minglang wanted now was not to enter a contract with the Yama Dragon, but simply to make the Yama Dragon take a bite of the food he offered it.

Because once the Yama Dragon accepted being fed by a human, it would continuously lower its own bottom line, accepting more conditions of human taming… until it finally signed a contract!

“Ku~~~~~”

After a burst of venting, the God silkworm silk still bound the Yama Dragon tightly.

This time it was utterly drained of strength, and even the Dark Eye of Netherworld lost its fiery glow.

It gave up struggling, and the whole dragon became lifeless and listless, lying motionless on the Sawtooth Earth.

Hunger tormented it, but it still scorned the food Zhu Minglang placed before it—preferring to starve, preferring to endure all kinds of severe torture, rather than eat a single bite of this human’s Dragon Food.

…

Another three days and three nights went by.

Zhu Minglang’s eyes were bloodshot.

Even though he had become divine and succeeded in immortality, not sleeping could indeed be fatal.

But Zhu Minglang couldn’t sleep, as he needed to continue outlasting the Yama Dragon.

Of course, Zhu Minglang did not let the Yama Dragon sleep either.

Rest is one thing, but whether it could sleep was another matter. The most direct and effective way to break someone’s willpower is to not let them close their eyes to sleep. Some immense pains are abrupt and brief, and the majority of beings would faint under unbearable agony, break down, maybe even suffer from amnesia or death.

But not sleeping, three days and nights might still be the limit a person can bear, but what about seven days and nights, or even half a month?

Zhu Minglang and the Yama Dragon had already fought for ten days here, with neither closing their eyes.

Bai Qi, though appearing sleepy as it lay on Zhu Minglang’s shoulder, did not sleep since neither Zhu Minglang nor the Yama Dragon were sleeping.

Yawning to the heavens, Zhu Minglang felt like he was about to die, so sleepy that his soul was about to leave his body, then suddenly Little Bai Qi’s little wings swept over, wildly flapping a downy blanket across Zhu Minglang’s cheeks!

“I’m not sleeping, I’m not sleeping, I’m awake, I’m awake!” Zhu Minglang quickly begged Little Bai Qi to stop.

…

Staring with one blood-red eye, Zhu Minglang watched the Yama Dragon intently, and the Yama Dragon too was nearly at its limit, after all, it was in an extremely starved state.

Suddenly, something slid off his shoulder, and he heard the sound of the clean-furred creature “thud” on the ground. Then the Little White Dragon awoke in an instant, furiously shaking its small head in annoyance, even madly swiping its own cheeks with its tail fluff.

The baby’s not sleepy, this royal baby’s not sleepy at all, this White Dragon baby is not tired in the slightest!!!

…

“I can’t hold on any longer, Yama Dragon, you’ve won, I’ll let you go!”

On the fifteenth day, Zhu Minglang suddenly yelled at the Yama Dragon, looking frustrated and enraged.

The Yama Dragon’s spirit was nearly exhausted, but upon hearing these words, the dragon revived, the Demonic Flames on its back igniting in an orderly fashion, its aura still astonishing.

“Rawr!!!” the Yama Dragon also roared, showcasing its unyielding will.

Humans, miserably defeated, hmph!

“I can let you go, but there’s something I can’t accept, you can’t accept, and my White Dragon can’t accept, and that is that you must settle the outcome between you two. As long as you can defeat my White Dragon, I will acknowledge you, and then I will let you leave,” Zhu Minglang said to the Yama Dragon.

“Rawr!” the Yama Dragon cried out, indicating that if Zhu Minglang let it go now, it would still come back to settle the score with the White Dragon.

“That won’t do, if you’re afraid you’ll lose to my White Dragon, and I let you go now, you might never appear again. Wouldn’t this battle be left without a conclusion forever?” Zhu Minglang stated.

“Rawr roar!!!” The Yama Dragon was uncontrollable in its rage, feeling that Zhu Minglang’s words were an insult to its draconic dignity!

“So, let’s both compromise. First, you eat all these Star Moon Essence Stones and replenish your strength. Tonight, you will continue to fight, and as long as you can beat my White Dragon, I will immediately let you go. I swear to you upon my divine form!” Zhu Minglang said to the Yama Dragon.

This time, the Yama Dragon did not show outright contempt and anger.

It glanced at the Little White Dragon and then at the Sun and Moon Essence in front of it.

“Rawr!!!”

The Yama Dragon snorted and finally opened its mouth to swallow the Dragon Food in front of it.

Without chewing, as if even in its eyes the food was ultimately wrapped in something it abhorred, it swallowed these morsels with an air of arrogance, not conceding at all…

Even though the taste was quite good.

Human Dragon Shepherds after all have studied dragons for countless years; they know how to craft the best combinations of Dragon Food. Even without thorough chewing, when the tiny shards of star crystals and moon stones rolled down its throat, it could feel a gentle and warm energy spreading through its body, banishing the hunger and even bringing a sweet sense of happiness.

Its tail almost couldn’t stop wagging, but the Yama Dragon immediately acted composed and dismissive. With its powerful self-controlled draconic dignity, it coerced the little traitorous tail to stiffen there, bent slightly…

After eating, the Yama Dragon rested right there.

With the food, its wounds began to heal quickly. Nether flames exuded from its skin, blending with its majestic fur and whiskers, making it appear even more majestic and proud.

Zhu Minglang and the Little White Dragon outwardly seemed to be compromising with the Yama Dragon, but seeing it eat all the Dragon Food, Zhu Minglang hid one hand behind his back, out of the Yama Dragon’s sight and high-fived with the Little White Dragon’s secretly extended tail!

Success!!

The Yama Dragon ate the food I raised!!

In the world of vagabonds, how can one not know how to dramatize?

Any compromise was simply Zhu Minglang giving the Yama Dragon a psychologically acceptable reason to consume the Dragon Food!

As long as this step was successful, the subsequent Dragon Taming plan could be carried out very smoothly!

…

At night, Zhu Minglang continued to send Bai Qi into battle.

The Yama Dragon was brimming with vitality, its injuries had healed, and it was raging as if it wanted to vent all the frustrations of being imprisoned for half a month on the White Dragon, and it was determined to defeat the White Dragon to reclaim its proud freedom!!

The will to fight between the two needed no ignition. The moment Ice Frost and Nether Flame Cold Flame collided, the battle exploded. Bai Qi and the Yama Dragon grappled once again!

The Yama Dragon used Divine Skills it hadn’t shown before, commanding legions of ghosts as if it were an army from the Netherworld, rolling over the earth with terrifying destructive force.

Fortunately, the God silkworm silk was completely impervious to the nether forces, otherwise, the God Silkworm Silk Forest would have been directly destroyed.

Bai Qi also exerted its strongest Profound Art. Its radiance replaced the bright moon, and when it flapped its wings, countless silver feathers surged out— innumerable, with each feather transforming into a massive tide of frost.

Soon, a colossal tidal wave formed from the frost feathers, and within the Frost Feather Tide, thousands of giant ice serpents thrashed, each as large as a mountain!

It was a tide, a surge of thousands of serpents, and also a series of continuous Ice Frost Mountains coming forth…

The two forces clashed again, but this time the Moon Blessing White Dragon appeared somewhat stronger. Its silver feather tide rolled over the ghosts, sweeping away all the Nether Fire and Demonic Flames!

Moreover, from this usage of Divine Skills, the Yama Dragon clearly felt the strength of the White Dragon had increased!!
